Happy Thanksgiving
May this Thanksgiving be full of joy and peace for you and those you love. There is always something to be thankful for. Please express our gratitude throughout this holiday break of November 21 (half day)-November 23 and remember this: We are thankful for the entire Lake Shore community for choosing us to serve your educational needs.
Trim-a-Wreath
Mrs. Hoehing's Multigraders and 3rd graders and Masonic Heights' Student Council decorated a wreath for the Edsel and Eleanore Ford House. We encourage visitors to vote on these Trim-a-Wreath entries that will be inside a tent adjacent to the garage.
The Ford House is located at 1100 Lake Shore Road in Grosse Pointe Shores, between Vernier and Nine Mile roads. Tours are offered from noon to 7:30 p.m. Wednesdays through Saturdays and from noon to 5 p.m. Sundays.
Cheerleaders Participate in Collegiate Clinic
Saginaw Valley State University’s 22 Cheerleaders and coaches hosted a 2 hour cheerleading clinic which caught the attention of Lake Shore Cheerleaders senior Haley Marsiglio and junior Brooke Nysen. Haley said, “It was a good look into the college athletic experience.” During the clinic, Haley and Brooke learned collegiate stunts and techniques including 1 1/2 high pyramids and front tuck cradles. Way to take advantage of additional opportunities to help you grow, ladies!
Creating Edible Experiences
Our buildings are rotating through Discovery Kitchen experiences! We demonstrated our Food Focus of the month: Cranberries. This fruit was introduced in various forms such as dried, sauce, and a mixture of cranberries, cherries and blueberries! The students loved the snacks and the stickers.
Kennedy Middle School's MOCI and MICI classes have participated in Feast with Friends for four years, visiting South Lake's Bistro. They paired with student chefs to create a meal and dessert featuring "build a sandwich" pressed in a Panini press, chips, and a decorated cupcake. Yum!
Words are Powerful
Words are a powerful thing. They can build you up or tear you down. Our Violet Elementary students show us how it can hurt and how choosing words wisely will make someone feel better about themselves.
Become a Super Sleuth
Do you have a Clue who committed the murder in the mansion? The mystery may have a solution by following clues left behind by Julia Munger, Allison Molloy, Olivia Johnston, Eddie Sheen, Brenden Tumidajewicz, and Jack McParland.
During the 3-nights of performances we eliminated the suspects and discovered whodunit, with what and where with our Lake Shore High School Drama Club.
RE/MAX Engages Students with Hot Air Balloon
Candice Thompson, Realtor for RE/MAX First, introduced Rodgers Elementary to this red, white, and blue hot air balloon. Five hundred students learned thermodynamics, wind sheer, direction in relationship to point a and point b, and the science behind how it floats.
Thank you, RE/MAX First, for giving back to our community in such a big way!
Rubik's Cube Masterpiece
Kennedy Middle School students have successfully completed our Rubik's Cube mosaic of John F. Kennedy in the Media Center! This mosaic is made up of 225 Rubik’s Cubes solved in a variety of ways! Students have worked for the last 6 weeks during their lunch times to complete the mosaic and the last cube was added today during sixth grade lunch! This Rubik’s Cube mosaic has been a fun way for our students to practice critical thinking, collaboration, and reasoning skills!
Ms. Kubiak would like to thank all of the students who have helped to solve our Rubik's Cubes over the last few weeks!
The Faces of Servant Leaders
Our Board of Education Members attended the Michigan Association of School Boards (MASB) Annual Leadership Conference gaining valuable insight for our district and sharing what is special about Lake Shore Public Schools! They discussed what motivates young people to get on Boards, diversity, equity, and inclusion, whole child approach to education, and the general future of public education in the years to come. We are proud to work with such dedicated lifelong servant leaders.
Selfless Students, Selfless Community
Our students are always showing acts of selflessness, no matter how big or small. Students of all ages can help out, and our students find a way to. From pulling the red wagon to return lunch boxes, to raising the flag in the morning, our students should be recognized for their humanitarian efforts. No matter how big or small the deed, Lake Shore students are always eager to assist.
Twenty North Lake High School students participated in service learning where they harvested 2,940 lbs of Brussels Sprouts at Forgotten Harvest Farms!
Kennedy Middle School's MOCI program has been blessed again by a second generous donation from the Order of Alhambra facilitated by Mr. Bob Plotkowski. The day that our new refrigerator was delivered our 25 year old dryer stopped working. Not only did they donate a new dryer they also donated a new washing machine. We have been blessed by the generosity of this organization. We are extremely grateful for their support of our daily living program.
